An investigation into voter fraud in the Spanish city of Melilla indicates the existence of two criminal outfits paying between €50 and €200 per vote, to be cast via post.
As the facts around this case emerged, VOX wrote to Melilla’s Electoral Board requesting an immediate halt to postal voting and that the Public Prosecutor’s Office initiate an investigation.
The socialist party member and member of the local government Sabrina Moh has suggested that fraudulent votes could account for a full third of the local Assembly’s representatives.
On the last day of the deadline for requesting postal voting in the Spanish city of Melilla, these requests reached 11,000: 20% of its voter census.
In order to avoid fraud, the local Electoral Board has now decided that voters must take the envelope containing their vote to the post office in person, where they will be asked to show a valid ID.
Placing the anomalous situation in a geopolitical context, VOX has also suggested that the sudden massive surge in fraudulent voting was organized by Morocco in a bid to destabilize Melilla, a territory the North African kingdom lays claim to.
